New Free Agency Winners and Losers

Tim Hightower RB Richmond 6�1 225

By: Robert Davis

Hightower ran for 161 yards and added 158 yards on 19 receptions as a freshman in 2004. He upped his numbers as a sophomore, finishing the year with 777 yards and nine touchdowns to go along with 21 receptions for 163 yards. Hightower again improved his rushing totals as a junior, rushing for 850 yards and five touchdowns, while adding 34 receptions for 269 yards and two touchdowns. All that led up to the amazing season Hightower had as a senior this year. He ran for 1,924 yards and 20 touchdowns to go along with 228 yards and three touchdowns on 32 receptions out of the backfield.

Hightower is an intriguing all around back. He has very good size, runs hard between the tackles, but he is not just a power runner. He his the hole quickly and accelerates through it and can make a quick cut and make the first defender miss. Hightower is also an excellent receiver out of the backfield.

Hightower has only been a feature back for one season. He put up solid numbers, but he only dominated for one season at the D1-AA level. While he is a talented all around back, he does not possess one stand out skill or trait.

Hightower has a nice blend of skills that project well to the next level. He may lack the one true ability to be a star, but his ability to help out in a variety ways should make him attractive option in April.
